OSLC4MBSE Working Group

The OSLC4MBSE Working Group has been initiated in 2013 as a collaborative effort between members of the OMG Systems Engineering and OSLC communities as part of the OMG SE DSIG. The aim of this working group is to investigate and develop an approach for multidisciplinary life-cycle integration in systems engineering, in order to support interoperability between the domains and their data. The graphical modeling language OMG SysML™ and its concepts represent a subset of the systems engineering domain which supports general-purpose modeling of systems. The Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is a tool interoperability approach based on standardized and open Web technologies that enables common interoperability across various domains. The initial focus of this working group is to investigate how SysML concepts can be implemented using OSLC to achieve life-cycle integration. Demonstrations are being planned to illustrate the approach.

2014/2015 Objectives & Scope

Objectives:

Investigate and develop an approach for multidisciplinary life-cycle integration in systems engineering

Investigate how SysML concepts can be implemented using OSLC to achieve life-cycle integration.

Define MBSE interoperability scenarios

Define OSLC specifications for MBSE

Implement and demonstrate interoperability solutions

Disseminate the approach within the wider systems engineering community

Scope:

Modeling-Based Engineering languages and tools

Reuse existing standards, as much as possible and wherever meaningful (e.g. OSLC specifications)

This SysML vocabulary is an experimental version that results from feedback of several members of the OSCL4MBSE Working Group over several months, but has not gone through a formal approval or adoption process by the Working Group or the Object Management Group. It is anticipated that this vocabulary will continue to be updated, and serve as a starting point for a possible OMG Request for Proposal (RFP) in the future.
